From the article... (Munroe is not Stern's Paternity Lawyer so he is just giving his opinion - but we all know what side Munroe is on - but Munroe also points out some facts that do not weigh in for Stern on the paternity)

The matter is now at the case management stage, during which stage the court makes orders as to discovery, filing of documents that have not yet been filed, answering of interrogatories, and other preparatory steps for trial.
Mr. Munroe explained again the matter of a DNA or paternity test; he did not think it possible under Bahamian jurisprudence for anyone to compel Mr. Stern to take a DNA or paternity test.
"If somebody wishes to discharge a burden, they can ask themselves to be tested," he said.
He told the Journal that Mr. Birkhead would have to do a paternity or DNA test on himself, and then ask the court to compare that with a sample of the babys DNA.
"And thats very possible," Mr. Munroe said. "In our declaration filed as long ago as November I said that was possible here."
Asked whether it is possible in Bahamian law for anyone to compel Mr. Stern to do a DNA test, Mr. Munroe said, "I dont see how they can. If he is not (the girls father) he has no further interest. What interest has he in who is (the father, if he isnt)?
"Theres an interesting English case, where the English Court of Appeal ruled quite positively that someone in the position of Howard couldnt be compelled for a very simple reason hes the presumed father. Unless somebody else can displace him its in the interest of the child to have a father."
